I'd say there's plenty to discuss all the way through Season 11. Sure, there's some S11 garbage, but there's more good than bad, and "Behind the Laughter" is a perfect note to end on.

Supposedly with David O. Russell directing at one point. Now? Who knows.

I also downloaded the demo since the aesthetic and description sounded good, but unfortunately, it didn't do much for me. I think your description is dead-on. I'm much too aware of my own frustration.

Were reviews mixed? I didn't read any, but I did like the album quite a bit.

I'd much prefer Oscar and/or AFI montages if they were willing to have as much fun as the guy making this clearly did.

So in a case like the one above, it would be Entertainment Weekly putting together the cover using the studio's image files? That what I always assumed, just making sure.

Man, stupid Brutal Legend. Never has a game gone from fun to not-fun more quickly. That was installed but untouched on my system for over a year. I finally admitted I'm never going back and uninstalled it earlier this week.

I was aware that the doc passed over some of the especially fucked up stories, but honestly I kind of appreciated it. As critical as it was, the film was very measured and reasonable. It didn't take people to task for wanting to believe, just criticized the shady aspects of its origins (that is, pretty much all of…

Get out of here extraneous letters! This isn't France!

While everyone else in the world is diving into Bloodborne, I'm just now trying out Dark Souls for the first time. That's the sort of lag I operate on.

I too have never quite figured out cultural victories in BNW. The strategy is so drastically different from how it was in G&K.

Last night I finally put to rest a long-running Civilization V game: Nebuchadnezzar, Earth map, Science victory. I hadn't played in awhile and just wanted to drip my toe back in. It ended up being the most dramatic game I've ever played, one that further proves Vizzini's advice in The Princess Bride about land wars in…

I'm about 75% of the way through VC, and while I'm enjoying it immensely, I keep running into those situations where everything goes horribly wrong and I get frustrated and have to put it down for several days. It's slowed progress.

I don't think movie has much of a mystery to its creation. Pair a funny, marketable white guy and a funny, marketable black guy and there's your template for a comedy. It's not Mortdecai. There is precedent for its existence.

I lived in Japan for a little while, and my experience there was that many people were moderately adept at English (certainly better than I was with Japanese), but were modest about it. They generally wouldn't want to speak English for fear of doing a bad job with it. I'd often get an apology mid-conversation, even…

Gymkata would like a word with you.

I don't know anything about real-world fighting, but I'd figure the proper way to head-butt would be hard part of the skull (top of the forehead) against soft part of the face (nose). Most movies make it look like two rams fighting, just with whoever did the initial swing coming out unscathed.

"War Is the H-Word" has many of my favorite exchanges in the series, including this so far unmentioned gem:

The Fight is the correct answer for all-time favorite. Congratulations! You win!

I'm alternating between two of my Steam Winter Sale purchases, Wolfenstein: The New Order and Valkyria Chronicles, and absolutely loving both. For very different reasons of course, though technically I guess they both scratch the same WWII-ish itch. Wolfenstein is one of the best single-player shooters I've ever…
